Continue ReadingSusan C. Davidson, born Susan C. Kenton of McHenry, IL, passed on to her rewards Saturday, June 4th, at White Oaks Memory Care in McHenry, IL. Surrounded by much of her family as she took her final breath.
Born in South Bend, Indiana, to James and Mary Kenton, she was the youngest of four siblings. Around ten years old, the family moved to a home on Pistakee Bay, and she spent her days playing with her dogs and horses in the bay.
She graduated from McHenry High School in 1971 and began a lifelong adventure with her boyfriend and then-husband, William (Bill) Davidson. They married on June 10th, 1972, and had three children: Jason, Kate and Billy.
Sue was a very accomplished cook, and entertaining in her home was one of her many passions, along with gardening. She made each house she lived in a home. Sue and Bill raised and showed English Springer Spaniels for years, but eventually, her children and all their activities with them took precedence. Years of sports events found her sitting on the bleachers, cheering on her children and grandchildren.
Sue loved to travel near and far, especially with her brother, Jeff Kenton and his wife, Nancy.
Sue worked most of her life as a medical secretary at McHenry Hospital, with 40 years of assisting people, training new employees and making friends.
Sue had a strong relationship with God and attended church regularly, taught Sunday school, and volunteered at the Home of the Sparrow Thrift store for several years.
She is survived by her husband, Bill, of 50 years, her children: Jason, Kate, and Billy; her five granddaughters: Myia, Ella, Nora, Alexandra and Betty; and siblings: Jeff, Carol, and Roxane.
The family would like to thank White Oaks Memory Care and ProMedica Hospice for all the care and love during her preparations for her new life in heaven.
A Celebration of life will take place at the Justen Funeral Home & Crematory, 3700 W. Charles J. Miller Road, McHenry, IL, on Saturday, June 18, 2022, from 11:00 am -1:00 pm.
For information, please call the Funeral Home at 815-385-2400, or visit www.justenfh.com, where friends and loved ones may share memories of Susan on her tribute wall.

This is Michael Krug. Susie and I were friends in High School during 1969. Susie was a very good friend and companion and I was briefly acquainted with her parents and sisters, spending time at their wonderful lake home at Pistakee Bay. Susie was a great friend, very good natured, and in all ways an incredibly beautiful young woman. I still have a school photo of her and a charcoal rendition of it that I sketched for her in 1969; She returned the sketch to me for Art Portfolio submissions and I’ve carried it hither-yon for 53 years. I extend my most sincere condolences to all of Susie’s family and friends. I have the fondest memories of Susie and my prayers will always include her. Loving Regards, Michael Krug
PS: I’ve sent a copy of Susie’s school photo and the sketch to the Justen Services office.

Dear Davidson Family,
My heart goes out to all of you, husband Bill and all of the children and grandchildren Sue loved so much. Any time she spoke of you her eyes and smile would brighten the room. Her personality and amazing stories will stay in my heart forever. My heart is with Sue and you all.

Sue was a good friend and a great colleague. She was the proverbial “eye in the center of the storm” while at work. I honestly never heard a negative word from her.
See you on the other side, Sue!
